COLBY – Ashley Streveler and Alyssa Underwood combined for 17 points in the first half as Colby opened up a slight lead and the Hornets held on from there, beating Stratford 41-36 in a nonconference girls basketball game Tuesday night at Colby High School.
The game pitted the leaders of the Cloverbelt Conference East Division in Colby, and the Marawood Conference South Division co-leader Stratford.
Streveler had all nine of her points, and Underwood had eight of her 11 in the first half as Colby (14-0) built a 25-20 lead by halftime.
Stratford (10-4) made only three baskets from the field in the second half, all three-pointers, but hung in the game by making 7 of 8 free throws, however it was not enough.
